I can't burn a CD with EAC. The simple reason is that the option "write CD" is not available in the write menu. (It is not highlighted). I can choose and arrange .wav files, I can manipulate the cue sheets, but how can I write? I feel stupid.
I have used EAC for ripping countless times, and always Easy CD Creator for burning. Does EAC somehow not recognize my burner? It does recognize it as a CD drive, and I use my burner for ripping without problems.

Usual stupid question: do you have the latest version? If yes/no, have you tried going back/forward a version?
For some reason the latest version wouldn't let me play things back on my laptop, but the version before it worked fine. Go figure.

What version do you recommend? Or do you think I have to try until I find a version that accepts my burner?
The reason behind this is I have received a copy of the Toshiba CP 35-3016 Abbey Road CD. Unsurprisingly, this CD is rather bright, so I wanted to burn a copy with pre-emphasis flags set. My Easy CD Creator has no feature for that.

Yes.

You beat me to it. The only advantage EAC has over something like Nero with regard to burning is its support for nonstandard .cue sheets (for example, .cue sheets in which the index00 for the silence for a track is actually at the end of the preceding WAV's file). EAC also makes it slightly easier to turn CD Text off when burning from a .cuesheet with junk text entries, but that probably doesn't matter to you.
If you have a compliant .cuesheet--and a single-WAV based .cue/.wav will always be compliant--NERO, CDRWin, and several others will handle it just fine.
I'm surprised that everyone here has so many problems with EAC writing to their devices. EAC worked for me with a HP 8100, a NEC 7800, and some awful Samsung drive I'm attempting to purge from my memory. I know that EAC absolutely detests laptop drives--as anyone attempting to do Secure-mode DAE on such a drive has probably discovered--but other than that, I've never encountered problems.
SO, if I have the CD Image in a directory and the cue sheet (automatically generated by EAC) as well, and if I enter the flags manually in the cue sheet, will CDRWin6 (the demo version) use the information in the cue sheet automatically and correctly? Because I see no option how to choose the cue sheet.

I think I may have turned secure mode off, but EAC certainly has no problems burning on 2 of my 3 laptop drives (haven't tried the third one yet).
